2. This is the flu. Stock up on robitussin and ibuprofin, juice, water and
soup and LOTS of tissue.

And videos.

There is nothing else you can do but alleviate the symptoms.

5. Kiddo likely does not have the flu.
She's been immunized. She's at the doc's now, so we'll see.

I have pretty standard cold symtoms -- I feel more "blah" than anything else. (No cough, so the robitussin would be useless.)

But, yeah -- soup, tissues, videos...all a good idea.

6. The blah comes first. Then your nose gets stuffy. Your throat gets itchy,
then the post nasal drip starts, which makes you cough. Then it ALLLL moves into your chest where it STAYS for 14 days if you medicate, or 2 whole weeks if you just suffer through it.

It SUCKs.

It just plain SUCKS.

7. Get the plastic and duct tape ready.
Oh ... sorry, that's for something else. Take care of yourself! I hope you all get better fast. We get good results with black elderberry extract. Drink plenty of liquids and call me in the morning.
